Shooting at School in Parkland, Florida

The big picture here is the value we place on human life. Society has seriously decayed to a disgusting low. Many of us who have been around for a while have seen the steady decline in the value of human life. When the human person lost its value and became nothing more than a commodity, the world became a breeding ground for these sorts of behavior and attacks on human life.

It started with the legalization of abortion...or at least that is where the ball really picked up steam.

How does the significantly reduced crime rate connected to the legalization of abortion play into this metric?

Someone read Freakonomics I see...

I think his point was that the value of an individual life, and the subsequent loss that was felt was more significant until we collectively began killing the unborn as a routine action in our society. The fact that the children who are most likely to be aborted (or perhaps more accurately stated, the mothers of children who are most likely to have an abortion) are also the mothers whose children are more likely to develop into people engaging in criminal activity is independent from the societal value that was once placed upon individual life.

Bingo. With abortion banned, low income mothers are forced to have children they cannot afford to raise, and the children are more likely to seek out gang activity.

You don't get much more conservative than wishing for things to be like "the good old days" in the 1500s.

Right-wing politics involves...claiming either that social or economic inequality is natural and inevitable or that it is beneficial to society. Right-wing ideologies and movements support social order.

I would say most far-right groups would likely fall into the anti-government types...some militia groups and such.
